BTW, before Tiger, I could use aliases that referred to a folder on an encrypted sparseimage. When I selected one of those folders, at print time, OSX would mount the disk and present me with the password dialog... then it would print the PDF to that folder.

After I upgraded to Tiger, that stopped working. Print to PDF would make no error messages or protests. The only reason I knew it wasn't printing to PDF was because my disk image didn't mount, nor was I prompted to give its password. I don't recall when, exactly, this stopped working.

If I mount the disk image before printing, the PDF does arrive in the proper folder, though, so now those extra steps are part of my routine.

I tried this hint using an alias to a folder in my user folder called "Documentation." When I invoked the workflow it saved the PDF to a folder created by Quicken in my documents folder called "Documentation."

I think this is actually one of the more useful recent hints. There are lots of things I need to save as PDF for future reference, but don't want cluttering up the sidebar. I had never thought to look for a "~/Libary/PDF Services" directory. This is great for capturing info from websites that I know will change, but need to save in a specific state. For example, this hint gave me the idea to alter the "Save PDF to Web Receipts folder" script to do what I had been manually doing through "Save as PDF...". I even wrote it up: http://schutt.org/blog/2009/08/osx-pdf-services/
